"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Suddenly, the building began to SHAKE!!!! Really shake..... two huge jarring jolts!

Our Maestro stopped the music....the few of us sitting in the audience, looked at each other, looked around....and Maestro Summers announced that "Yes, we just had an earthquake"! I looked up at the chandelier....memories of what the 1989 Loma Prieta Quake had done to it.... but nothing was moving.... our *Diva*, Susan Graham, who was in the midst of an aria, had felt nothing! We all laughed (nervously) and made jokes about how large a quake it had been..(it was "only a 4.2"....but as it was centered just across the Bay in Berkeley - we really felt it)! Rehearsal did continue.... after all, the "Show Must Go On"!

Later that night, I was in the gorgeous Castro Theater..watching a movie at the "Berlin and Beyond" Film Festival ....

By the time I arrived home, I was tired....but made a cursory search of my place to make sure everything was still standing.... it was....so I was off to bed. (Perchance to dream -in unshaking peace! ) A-ha-ha!

oh my gosh, i heard and thought of you. i am terrified of earthquakes. having lived in california all my life (except for a few years in hawaii, where there are earthquakes and tsunamis) i can defintely say one never gets used to them. your photos show so much beauty robin, i'm glad all is well.

I was so out of it yesterday, I heard no news, but this is NOT what I want to hear!!!Glad you're okay, and everything was fine at the theater~~especially sitting under that chandelier.....yikes....And no, I don't think I could EVER get used to those shakes.Take care FBBBFF!!!

Ahhh how scary! Bet you never get used to this.Well next week we will shake up things so no need for an earth quake!Returned home from Sweden yesterday and I am tired. It was a good trip in all ways!Today I will just relax and sleep.See U Soon!!!!!♥M

About Me

A lover of all of life's beauties - music, poetry, nature, animals, the ever-changing moon, the smell of jasmine at twilight. Thunder and lightning in the Summertime. The smell of Pinon after the rain. Running through crisp, multi-coloured Autumn leaves with my favourite Chocolate Lab, Walking in the first snowfall of Winter and tasting snow on my tongue. Believing in the power of love - no matter what...
